the area that sandy covered was roughly the size of europe. we had major disasters in a number of states that president obama already has declared emergency declarations in a number of states that have been declared. we have seen some huge impacts on things like the availability of power. and with of course the loss of power comes attendant losses on things like gasoline. so all of these things, all of these issues being worked now as the community comes back and as we work to support con ed and other utility companies in getting the grid back on. we have over 75,000 survivors in new york and new jersey who now have applied for disaster assistance already. almost $15 million is already on the street. this is assistance directly to individuals. that spigot is going well. we have what are called disaster recovery centers. kind of a one-stop-shop. it's where you can go and get the information about what assistance you can get, what the housing situation is, how you handle unemployment, if you need help with your kids in school, all the kind of as

that's exactly what sandy brought them. so an unprecedented event and something that really they didn't plan for. i asked them are you going to look into upgrading that? that would cost serious dollars but he did acknowledge, that's a question that certainly has to be discussed. >> i know you have spoken with a lot of new yorkers. how are they reacting? especially the lower part of manhattan? you're reporting that you will be without power for another four days? >> they're not happy about it. i can tell you that. and your friends and neighbors and see what is going on. this is only day one, wolfe. to get complete restoration back it will take a while. a lot of people are plugging their cell phone ins all over the place. some places are allowing folks to do that in the world of hand held devices. >> it is currently stable but looks like it is dangling precariously. construction crews will strap it to the building so the city can reopen the streets below. cnn acquired this amateur video of the crane collapsing during monday's

look at how destructive superstorm sandy was. this was a dock that completely demolished, that showed you how strong the wind and the waves were in this area. there was a mandatory evacuation order for this area, but clearly some residents say they wanted to ride out the storm and this homeowner stayed inside during the entire time and they say they watched the waves come up and bang into their home. they saw parts of the dock bang into their porch right here as well as a house boat basically collide, causing this trail of destruction. you can see pieces of their home on their lawn, and obviously just a trail of debris here. this is a scene a lot of residents are coming back to as they try to pick up the pieces. now if you look across the street, where the dock ended up or at least a portion of it, in somebody's driveway, you could also see an uprooted tree, downed power lines and if you look at the end of the street, that is where a houseboat ended up, and washed ashore, so clearly a very devastating scene here for a lot of resi
